Well, I ran into an atheist on this very forum who goes around proclaiming that science has ruled out any spiritual essence to reality. So there are atheistic fruitcakes to be found who erroneously believe that they can disprove a spiritual essence to reality altogether. Forget about any specific Gods. They rule out everything even remotely close to being mystical.
Of course those kinds of people are just the polar opposites of religious fundies. Pretending to know things that can't be known.
I personally feel that I can rule out Hebrew mythology just as most people have accepted that Greek mythology can be ruled out. The Hebrew mythology itself is simply to absurd to be an accurate picture of a God. It's riddled with contradictions to the point where it clearly can't be true.
Besides the ultimate contradiction of Christianity is the very idea that some supposedly benevolent would consider having his son butchered on a pole as 'payment' for the sins of mankind.
If that's not the most asinine idea I've ever heard, I don't know what is.
It just flies in the very face of anything that could be considered "divine" IMHO.
How absurd does a religion need to be before we rule out out on those grounds alone?
A supreme being who's so crude and ruthless to demand that someone be nailed to a pole to pay for people's sin wouldn't even be a "God" as far as I'm concerned. On the contrary, such a being would be an evil demon unworthy of anyone's respect.
So, I can rule out the Christian God as being a valid "God". If it exists at all, it would only prove that demons exist.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
